Fresno Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Fresno, CA for residential and commercial properties across the central San Joaquin Valley. A chimney is the wettest object on most Fresno roofs, and the standard repair for one is the wrong repair. Somebody climbs up, spreads sealant across the old flashing, and sells the homeowner two dry winters. We do not do that here.
Correct chimney flashing is two separate pieces of metal. Step flashing woven into the shingle courses up each side, and a counterflashing let into a reglet cut into the masonry itself, so that water arriving at the joint has a physical path over the top of the roof plane rather than an adhesive one. Sealant is a secondary detail at the reglet, never the system. Metal does the work. Sealant only buys the metal a little time.
The uphill side needs a cricket. Any chimney wider than roughly thirty inches accumulates debris behind it, and in this climate that pile sits dry from April until November and then acts as a dam through January. A framed and metal-clad saddle diverts the water around the stack and, just as usefully, stops the pile from ever forming in the first place. It is framing and sheet metal, and it is not an expensive addition.
Here is the recommendation that surprises people. A great many Fresno chimneys are decorative, unlined, unused and built of unreinforced masonry, sitting on a house in a region with real seismic exposure. If yours is not in service, dropping it below the roof plane and decking the hole over is frequently cheaper than a proper flashing rebuild, and it retires a liability at the same time.
The District's own wood-burning curtailment runs through the winter months, which is precisely the stretch in which a Fresno fireplace would otherwise get used. Between that programme, the seismic question and the real cost of flashing a masonry stack correctly, we have taken a fair number of chimneys off Fresno roofs over the years and nobody has yet asked us to put one back.
Where the chimney stays, we quote the entire detail rather than part of it. New step flashing in the correct gauge, counterflashing cut into the brick rather than surface-mounted and caulked, a cricket wherever the width warrants one, and a new chase cover in the right metal if it is a factory unit. Then we photograph all of it, because photographs are the only proof anyone has once the covering goes back on.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — waterborne acrylic elastomeric roof coating, SBS-modified bitumen flashing cement, cold-applied built-up roofing, VOC-compliant roof mastic, peel-and-stick valley membrane, two-piece counterflashing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fresno and nearby communities including Clovis, Madera, Hanford, Lemoore.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing
The difference between chimney flashing that lasts and chimney flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with waterborne acrylic elastomeric roof coating, SBS-modified bitumen flashing cement, cold-applied built-up roofing, VOC-compliant roof mastic, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fresno job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the central San Joaquin Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fresno Chooses Fresno Premium Roofing
- ✓We establish the build year and the building class before pricing a tear-off, because Rule 4002 decides whether the job starts with a survey or with a shovel.
- ✓We tell single-family owners when the survey rule does not apply to them, rather than selling one they do not owe.
- ✓Every coating, cement, mastic, adhesive and sealant we specify is legal to apply in the San Joaquin Valley. A number of products sold online are not.
- ✓We run no hot asphalt kettles. Cold-applied and self-adhered systems do the same work without a burner sitting on your property.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Fresno follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
